My wife changed our internet service provider. For two weeks I thought I had gotten banned from the site. I couldn't get on with my cell phone or PC. Kept getting the 403 error message. Went to my brother in laws and got on his wifi and it worked through my phone. Came home switched back to our old internet and it works fine on both my PC and cell phone. My issue was with the forum part also.

My 05A VN car has GM 4872948. Not in your list but it's very similar to the 4721222 because its 5/16 thick.

Hans L did you check all three motor mount bolts on your car? My top two bolts are coming up, but the bottom bolt is going down on mine.

  My block didn't set very long. 05A car with a 0010 block with a D179 cast date and a 0421DZ stamp with a matching number 9D02 trans. with a 0422 BU rearend. 531046 serial number. I have the chassis broadcast sheet(good shape since the car was stored in 1984) from the gas tank with a production date of 06/30. My car was part of the VN strike. My car has been undercoated as I stated (including the gas tank) but I don't know when. Its more than just black paint. Even on the gas tank.

What would be a good date for a master cylinder and booster for my car? April? May? or June?

Fletcher Jones Chevrolet in Westminster, California on July 29th, 1969. Keep posting them pictures. Mine is headed to the paint shop in the coming months. Are the wiper arms painted black in the cowl area? Is there white over spray on the firewall?

The gas tank and parts of the undercarriage (mainly floor pans and tunnel area) on my car has definitely been undercoated and it appears factory. Exhaust has been changed. VN 5A car.

Odd to see stainless trim on the turn signal lens on a 5A build as they were discontinued during early production and not seen after January/early February 69 builds. The seat belts (5th week of 69) are also early dates for a May build. 

If I'm correct based off this link http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8327.0 my car was involved in the VN strike that started in April and ended mid June of 1969. If that link is correct and the plant was only reopened to clear the last 1200 Camaros, then my car would of have in that list. My guess is they used what they had to clear the line at that time which might be why my belts differ.

I just checked the driver seat belt and it is 13 F 69. The back seat is 12E 69. This car came with deluxe seat belt and front shoulder belts as an option. The shoulder belts are marked 43 C 68 both sides.

Would that be the same person who stamped the engine?

My engine stamp and this is where it got interesting for me, but I found this thread on this site. The car in the link was built same week(05A) as mine in the LOS plant. The car in the link is stamped the same way but his engine stamp is off one number to his serial number. Mine is the correct number but stamped across the DZ stamp using random fonts. My guess is same person stamped both .  http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=20518.0

Well, I hate to say it but you fellows are correct. The more I look the more signs I see of a repaint. Small amount of orange over spray on the door rubber. Orange on the fog lamp cord. Then when I look at the white stripes I noticed a faith line off to the side under the orange. I think it's the old stripe line. I noticed the trunk bumpers are painted orange also. I apologize for my 90% factory paint statement. The good news is this will end my decision on whether to repaint the car or not....its not original now so it don't matter. The documentation is what drew me back to the car anyways. It wasn't the paint job for sure.
